Willbanks Metals

The people you work with day in and day out are outstanding and it makes it the best part of the job without a doubt. The problem at Willbanks is you are put in a position and then that's it. There is no true follow up training's or anything you can truly build upon. Since I started at Willbanks I have seen several benefits taken away and never replaced. There is a bare medical insurance that seems to be only so nobody gets fined. 

In my 8 years there I saw several different directions the company would take only to ditch them for something new and trendy. I understand you need to keep up with the competition but these constant changes lost customers along the way. 

The hardest part of the job was knowing that the current VP didn't support some of the decisions I would make and this was after I was told I control of the day to day operations. Since his promotion he brought in several family members and has shut down 1 of the 3 facilities in the area. I was laid off due to restructuring and was told I couldn't stay on with the company in a different capacity. I didn't believe this was the true reason I was laid off, felt like I was only let go to be made an example of. The location I ran was the only one to make a profit during the tough times when the company was loosing money. This wasn't my assumption but a fact that I heard directly from accounting. 

To be fair WMI provided me a fair experience and compensation. It more or less a company to gain some knowledge and experience with and then to move on from. It should be viewed as a stepping stone type company.

First of all the job itself is pretty cool and there really is a lot to learn.  Bad part is most of the times supervisors tend to rush the training and end up with individuals who aren't ready to operate said machine, which in turn ends up affecting production. If I could change something, it would probably be management. They tend tend to play favorites a lot on top of not knowing the job very well which makes asking for their help difficult. The co workers are friendly and make the job a little less stressful. Hardest part of the job is probably learning to operate the machines at first, but with proper training it isn't much of an issue.

You work long hours they almost demand overtime very racist place management never kept their word to me although I will say that the upper upper management seem to be pretty fair although I didn't have a lot of dealings with them and don't get me wrong there are a few good supervisors out there but there are also some that have no business being in a position that they are

This company has a big heart for the people both internally and externally. Being apart of this company taught me how to become a more well rounded and balanced leader. The best part of the job was working with my team to manage the ebbs and flows of the challenges that every day had to offer. The hardest part of the job was maintaining stability in an ever changing market due to the fluctuations in the price of steel.

My tasks on a daily basis interacted with several different operations within the company from sales, inventory, quality and front desk.  Generated reports for various individuals. Interacted with customers to furnish certifications requested and sometimes take over the phone or email orders and enter data.

I spent over 10 years working for a company that was in constant growth and very successful at meeting customer demand.
After the sale of the company  the customer base started downsizing due to poor customer service being provided by the new organization.

typical day at work showed up to work.leadman handed us our paperwork and we got busy working.i learned how to run machines and get along with others.management worked well with everyone.there was no hardest part of job everybody helped each other. the most enjoyable part of work was having a stable job.

Clock in at 6 am and jump right in to work! This is not a job for slackers or people who don't come ready to give 100% everyday! We utilize software, cranes and forklifts to help us move material through the shop. It is a demanding job but can be a fulfilling when you put in a good days work!
